Love & exesBench · Juror HartStamped Not Guilty
Judge me for ending a second date after they ranked my friends?
Second date, a diner. They asked who in my life was 'actually impressive.' I named a friend who teaches third grade. They said 'so not impressive.' I paid for my eggs. I left a five and a thank-you. I walked home.
They texted that I could not take a joke and that ranking is how ambitious people talk. I did not reply. A week later they told a mutual I had 'stormed out of pancakes.'
I did not storm. I stood up.
Their side
They would say it was clumsy banter, that leaving mid-check is a scene, and that a week of silence is a colder verdict than a sentence at a diner.
Ask: Is standing up from a ranking a fair end, or did I turn a bad sentence into a walkout?
